WHO WE ARE

Two organizations, one goal

This hub is a partnership between Skills Council of Canada and Fraser Academy. One brings national reach into workplaces and government. The other brings deep, daily expertise in dyslexia.

Brad Loiselle, founder and CEO of Skills Council of Canada, is dyslexic and has built several global companies.

Why together

Dyslexia is identified in classrooms, but its consequences play out in workplaces and in the economy. Fraser Academy knows how dyslexic students learn and how teachers should be trained. Skills Council of Canada knows how to reach employers, educators and government at national scale. Together, the partnership can carry one message from the classroom to the boardroom to Parliament: dyslexic people think differently and build differently, and Canada is stronger when it builds with them.
